Post-Production Lead

Post-Production Lead (OAP + Library)

Habuild - On-site, Nagpur

About This Role

We're looking for someone to build Habuild's in-house post-production engine from the ground up.

This isn't just an editing role - you'll be our first Chief Editing Officer, setting up systems that can scalewhile getting your hands dirty with the actual work.

Here's what we need you to solve:

Library reutilization: We have years of live yoga sessions that need to become engaging YouTubecontent - both long-form videos and vertical shorts that actually perform.

OAP promos: When we run special sessions or themed weeks, we need trailers and teasers that get people excited and drive attendance.

You'll be both player and coach - editing the important pieces yourself while building a team and systems around you. We're looking for someone who thrives on creating repeatable processes that deliver consistent results.

Location: You'll work on-site in Nagpur, collaborating directly with Saurabh and the content team. This hands-on approach is crucial for the role.

Why This Matters

The Goldmine Opportunity: We have 5+ years of live yoga sessions sitting in our archives - content that originally helped thousands of people but is now just taking up storage space. Each session contains multiple teachable moments, breakthrough techniques, and genuine human stories that could help many more people if packaged properly. You'll be unlocking value that's already proven to work.

Understanding Our Audience: Our audience is 45+ and they consume content completely differently than most YouTube viewers. They prefer clear, readable captions over fancy graphics. They want to feel like they're on a journey with Saurabh, not being lectured to. Most content creators completely miss this - they make everything for 25-year-olds. You'll have the advantage of knowing exactly who you're creating for.

The Real Impact: This isn't just about making viral videos or hitting subscriber milestones. When you help someone discover the right 8-minute segment about knee pain relief, you're potentially changing their daily quality of life. Our content drives 80-90% of our growth through genuine referrals from people whose lives actually improved. That's the kind of work that matters.

The Platform We've Built: We've built a 2.5 million subscriber YouTube channel that functions like our own TV network. You'll be working with proven content and a proven audience - the creative challenge is unlocking value that's already there, not starting from zero.

What Success Looks Like

We keep our metrics simple and focused:

• Consistency: Ship 2 shorts per day and 2 long-form videos per week, hitting this cadence 90%+ of the time
• Performance: Improve our thumbnail click-through rate by at least 1.0 percentage point within 60-90 days

Everything else - how you structure workflows, what tools you use, how you manage quality - that's for you to define and execute.
